WOODWARD ON FOREIGNERS
- [Philadelphia? , 1863
[Philadelphia?, 1863. 8pp. Caption title [as issued]. Disbound with some loosening, light wear, Good+.
A Democratic Justice of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, Woodward ran for Governor in 1863. He had blamed the War on the Republicans, argued that no justification existed for excluding slavery from the Territories, and hinted that the South's secession was justified on grounds of self-defense.
This anti-Woodward pamphlet shows that, at the 1837 State Constitutional Convention, he attempted to prevent foreigners from voting or holding office in Pennsylvania. "Now that he is a candidate for office and needs the foreign vote, look out for denials and contradictions of his sentiments!"
LCP 11373. Bartlett 5959. Not in Eberstadt, Decker, Nevins, Sabin.
